<p>Ok, I know that I want to study engineering but I'm undecided on which kind. I really want to do biomedical but civil and mechanical interest me as well. I've heard that you will be able to find a job more easily with any engineering degree, which i great, but I wonder if this applies to biomedical engineering. I understand that it is a relatively new field so there aren't alot of jobs out there for it yet. Would getting a more traditional engineering degree such as mechanical be a safer bet?</p>

<p>Take a look at the career surveys at Berkeley, Cal Poly SLO, and Virginia Tech (and other schools also, but these three have the most detail). Check several years’ worth, since civil engineering employment prospects were significantly affected by the real estate bubble and bust.</p>
